After I change my Minecraft username, when does my old username become available?

What is a UUID?

UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier. Every Minecraft account has a different UUID. For example, my UUID is 403e6cb7-a6ca-440a-8041-7fb1e579b5a5. The UUID of a Minecraft account will never change. This gives Minecraft servers a new way to track players and make sure that bans, ranks, etc, remain with the player even after they change their name.
